From visionary director Ava DuVernay comes Disney’s A Wrinkle In Time. Based on the timeless classic and filled with spectacle, warmth and heart, this celebrated film follows an ordinary girl’s epic adventure and brave journey to save her family, with the ultimate triumph of love. Featuring an all-star cast including Oprah Winfrey, Reese Witherspoon, Mindy Kaling and Chris Pine, and eye-popping action—it’s fun for the whole family!
The mini delicious assorted sandwiches and desserts were delectable. Honey dripped from my spoon as the birds chirped in the gorgeous garden.
My daughter smiled with her large floral coronet, talking about how Opra had always been symbolic and an icon in her life. A Wrinkle in Time was Clarissa’s favorite book as a kid. She would dress up as a scientist and read snippets to her father, until he fell in a deep slumber. The book allowed her mind to run amok, and keep her scientist dreams alive. She constantly created worlds that consisted of Hot Cheetos, my little pony, and travel.
After watching the film, she said it fulfilled her expectations. More so considering the diversity was everything she had hoped. At the tea party she sipped her tea, and rubbed caviar from a salmon sandwich on her upper lip, “I’m Mr. Murry are you ready for tesseract travel? ”
Since the release of the film, Andrew and Clarissa have watched it a few too many times. Her tiny primas (cousins) can recite the film lines almost as well as she can. But hey explaining what a tesseract is, is a cool party trick, right?
My son played in the garden with his friends, and he often stopped to take a whiff of the scented flowers that surrounded him.
On numerous occasions, I had to stop and take pictures of the stunning flowers. The garden was heavenly and so peaceful. I can’t wait to go back and explore.
My son has become quite the history buff, and had a great time exploring the estate at the gardens.

Dream Big: Engineering Our World Premieres February 17th
My family loves to spend time in museums. It is a place where we can let our imaginations and creativity run free. Museums ignite imagination, innovation, vision, and play. I often encourage my children to “Dream Big” and shoot for the stars. Last week we got a sneak peek of the new film, “DREAM BIG: Engineering Our World.” This film will hit select museums nationally and globally.
This unique film celebrates human ingenuity behind engineering marvels big and small, and reveals the heart that drives engineers to create better lives for people globally. This film also inspires youth of diverse backgrounds to become innovators, educators, and leaders in their communities.
We also had the opportunity to interview Greg MacGillivray, director of the film and engineer Angelica Hernandez, who’s inspirational story is featured in the film.
Who will build the amazing future of our human race? That question sparks a giant-screen adventure unlike any other in DREAM BIG: Engineering Our World, an epically fun tour of inspiration through the visionary advances made by yesterday’s, today’s – and most thrillingly of all, tomorrow’s – engineers. Throughout human history, engineers have been behind-the- scenes forging an ingenious variety of lifesaving, even civilization-altering, structures, gadgets and gizmos. Yet never before have engineers been so vital to humanity and or so visible in the culture as they are now, as young women and men literally shoot for the stars and bust through old barriers to create a world only they can imagine.
We got a sneak peek of the film and we loved it! I could not unglue my youngest son from the screen! The cinematography is remarkable.
Director Greg MacGillivray said, “For me, this story was the ultimate find for DREAM BIG. It’s a heartfelt story that echoes David vs. Goliath – where you have these very resourceful children from impoverished backgrounds and a then-unknown school taking on some of the richest and most sophisticated schools in the country, with surprising results. The Falcon Robotics Team had very little money and no reputation — but what they did have was a great mentor in teacher Fredi Lajvardi who really cared about them and their education. And what they also had was ingenuity and a willingness to persevere against the odds. They never gave up andthat is always the most inspirational of human qualities.”
Angelica Hernandez, is a Mexican immigrant turned leading Arizona engineer who got her start in the legendary robotics club at Carl Hayden High School. Angelica faced many challenges being both a girl and Latina. She has risen above it all to make big changes in our world every day. Her story is truly heroic and inspirational.
“Angelica’s story is really the American story and in a sense, it could only have happened here,” muses Greg MacGillivray. “She came from a background where a lot of the time kids aren’t expected or even encouraged to go to college – in part because there’s such a big need for kids to get jobs and help the family out as soon as they finish high school. But Fredi told Angelica, you have to go to college, and she buckled down and made it happen. She became a shining example of the possibilities for anyone in this country to succeed if you work hard and dedicate yourself.”
Like many kids, Angelica had almost no clue of what an engineer does when she joined the robotics club at Carl Hayden. It wasn’t even on her mind. “First I joined ROTC and that’s when I started hearing more about the robotics team,” she remembers. “But really, I had no idea what they even did or what it was all about. When I finally joined, it turned out to be so much bigger and more exciting than what I thought it was.”
I was thrilled that my youngest daughter had a chance to interview Angelica. She’s a wonderful role model for young girls with “Big Dreams.”
This film is great for the entire family. You don’t want to miss it!
